The 1 Spot Pro XP5 is a tiny little powerhouse which allows you to add 5 more isolated outputs to your CS11. Each output provides 9Vdc of studio-clean power and can handle at least 500mA of current draw per output. Measuring 88x88x30mm (3.46×3.46×1.18) and weighing only 333 grams (11.75oz), it can be easily attached to a pedalboard using only Vel-Cro. Because of its low profile, the XP5 can be mounted under most pedalboards or be used as a pedal riser on top of a board. With 2 linked input jacks, you can power a second XP5 or XP8 by simply connecting a DC cable
1 SPOT Technology what does that mean and why should I care? Technically, its switching power supply technology, which is very different than what anyone has ever put inside a power brick. Normally, you would find just a big transformer and a handful of small electronic components inside a power brick… old tech that hasnt changed in decades and has a lot of limitations. They took the same triple filtered switching power supply technology found in our famous 1 SPOT and scaled it up to make the 1 SPOT Pro models. With much more space to work with, they were able to completely eliminate noise, provide total electrical isolation between outputs, create multiple voltages, and still give you the ability to use it anywhere in the world.
A major benefit of using a switching power supply is that it can handle far more current (power being pulled out of it) than any transformer-based power supply. Although they had to put power rating labels on each output to satisfy certification agencies (yes, they actually certified these, unlike many companies), the outputs can generally handle far more than the label shows. For example, you can connect a 300mA pedal to a 200mA output, without causing any problems. With a transformer-based power supply, you cant get away with that. The important thing is to not exceed the total of all the labels. With a CS7 (for example), the output labels add up to 1900mA total. That means the total current draw of all your pedals should be less than 1900mA.
